“This new lab will allow us to meet the business needs of our clients more effectively by streamlining the discovery and development process, and by providing greater continuity and consistency throughout the stages of development.”

Michael Clay, vice president of clinical development for PPD Asia Pacific, told Outsourcing-pharma.com that for the past 15 years PPD has been working in Asia Pacific and “developing our capabilities in those countries during that time and expanding our capabilities throughout the region… At PPD we can support our clients all the way from drug discovery to the clinical trial process to registration of those products in Asia Pacific or anywhere globally.”

The new laboratory also adds to the company’s existing presence in Beijing, China. BioDuro also has an 110,000-square-foot laboratory in Beijing.
